This issue needs to be picked up by Congressional candidates. Why aren’t the current Congress critters raising hell about this?

If anything will stir the sheeple to action it’s the Internet.

This is being done so this government can attempt to distance and isolate themselves from the regulation, censorship and control which it supports and is certainly coming.
